    Work is nearing completion on 28&7, a 12-story off Work is nearing completion on 28&7, a 12-story office building at 322-326 Seventh Avenue in Chelsea. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and developed by Klövern AB and GDSNY, the edifice rises at the corner of Seventh Avenue and West 28th Street and will yield 105,000 square feet of commercial space marketed by CBRE. Triton Construction is the general contractor for the reinforced concrete structure, which is located directly above the 28th Street subway station, servicing the local 1 train. The developers are aiming for LEED Gold and WELL certification. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 show the remainder of the glossy black terracotta façade grid panels installed and the scaffolding has been dismantled from around the ground floor. Only some minor finishing touches remain to be completed around the entrances. 28&7’s uniform grid of triple-glazed floor-to-ceiling windows make SOM’s design appear lightweight and bright, making it a welcome architectural addition to Chelsea. The structure stands as a stark contrast to its neighbors, which include brick buildings with ornate tops and the Brutalist concrete of the Fashion Institute of Technology across the street. 28&7 provides column-free work spaces with floor spans up to 40 feet, and the structure is topped with a 12th-floor penthouse that comes with a private panoramic garden terrace. Shared office amenities include ground-floor bike storage, showers, and changing stations.It was last reported that 28&7 is expected to be finished before the end of this year.
    The Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences has been su The Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences has been submitted to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board for approvals. With the application now made public, new renderings reveal Miami’s first supertall skyscraper. Property Markets Group and Greybrook Realty Partners are developing the 93-story mixed-use building, designed by Sieger Suarez Architects in collaboration with Carlos Ott. The tower would rise 1,036-feet, or 1,048-feet above sea level, and span 1,608,457 square feet across 9 glass offset cubes including 461 residential units, 205 hotel rooms, high-end amenities and 1,321 square feet for commercial uses; an adjacent structure of 431,862 square feet will built for 694 parking spaces. Officially addressed as 300 Biscayne Boulevard, the tower is located in the heart of Downtown Miami near Bayfront Park, the FTX Arena and the Perez Art Museum Miami. The interior lot covers approximately 73,414 square feet of space. Renderings from ArX Solutions depict the supertall from several new perspectives. The structure will be clad in tinted and clear glass panels in aluminum frames, tinted and clear glass railings, alucobond panels, metal louvers and smooth stucco finishes. Waldorf Astoria Miami will be divided as follows: Levels 1 through 5 will be dedicated to the hotel and residential lobbies, mail and restaurant; Levels 7 through 16 are the hotel rooms, topped with ballrooms on the 17th floor; Levels 19 through 23 are mostly for amenities such as the hotel lounge, pool area and fitness center; Levels 24 through 29 features more hotel rooms; Levels 30 through 89 are all condos; Levels 90 through 92 are reserved for penthouse units. Ground breaking is expected early next year, and completion in 2025.

    Construction nears topping out on Aston Martin Res Construction nears topping out on Aston Martin Residences, a 66-story residential tower at 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way in Downtown Miami. Designed by BMA Arquitectos & Asociados with Revuelta Architecture International for G&G Business Developments, the 816-foot-tall sail-shaped skyscraper will yield 391 residential units spanning approximately 1.9 million square feet. Coastal Construction is the general contractor on site, which is located at the northern end of the entrance to the Miami River. Cervera Real Estate is handling sales and marketing. Recent photos of the construction by @skyalign show the state of progress on the reinforced concrete superstructure. Aston Martin Residences is at the cusp of becoming Miami’s second tallest tower, dropping the 789-foot-tall Four Seasons Residences down to third tallest. 62 stories have been completed, which equates to about 94%, with the 63rd floor now underway as rebar for the perimeter columns can be seen rising out of the top. The last few stories to form and pour in are for the most expensive penthouse that went for $50 million and is rumored to include an Aston Martin Vulcan Hypercar. Facade installation has reached the 52nd floor now with more of the blue protective film peeled off. Aston Martin Residences has been exceptionally successful in the sales department, with the majority of the inventory now sold. Units start from $750,000 to $8,800,000 for River and Panoramic Residences; Sky and Penthouse Residences range between $14,000,000 and $50,000,000 for the Sky and Penthouse Residences. Topping out should occur within the coming weeks. Construction is expected to complete some time in 2022. See our Florida YIMBY article for the list of amenities.
    Façade installation nears completion on 227 West Façade installation nears completion on 227 West Street, a two-tower residential development in the 22-acre Greenpoint Landing development along the East River in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Designed by OMA and Beyer Blinder Belle for Brookfield Property Partners and Park Tower Group, the 30- and 40-story towers will yield 745 rental units, with 30 percent planned as “income-targeted” apartments, marketed in accordance with the Affordable Housing New York program. James Corner Field Operations is the landscape architect, DeSimone Consulting Engineers is the structural engineer, Thornton Tomasetti is the façade consultant, and Highbury Concrete is responsible for building the 450- and 351-foot tall reinforced concrete superstructures, located off the corner of Eagle and West Streets. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 show more of the precast façade panels filling in the gaps in the exterior and now cover both buildings up to their pinnacles. The main areas awaiting completion are the vertical gaps where the exterior hoists and crane are attached. U.S. Crane & Rigging, LLC disassembled the crane from the shorter tower, and it shouldn’t be long before its taller sibling’s crane comes down as well. The shorter building’s mechanical extension is hidden behind an opaque paneling system with a color scheme and grid outline that matches with the rest of the walls below. Urban Precast is in charge of erecting and installing each of the panels. Residential amenities include a swimming pool and a fitness center housed in the adjoining podium section located between the buildings. The property will also feature 8,600 square feet of retail space. 227 West Street should be finished sometime in the first half of 2022.
    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)  receiv The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)  received applications from Kushner Companies seeking approvals for the assemblage of two tower cranes at 2000 Biscayne Boulevard. The pair would rise 487-feet and 527-feet to assist in the vertical construction of Kushner’s 36-story, 408-foot-tall residential building proposed for the Edgewater site. The structure is designed by Dorsky + Yue International Architecture. The FAA received the application on September 16, 2021, which reveals the estimated commence date is November 1, 2021. The tower cranes would last approximately two years in use up until the end of 2023. 2000 Biscayne Boulevard is one of three towers that Kushner is planning to construct, yielding 393 residential units, 455 parking spaces and 4,569 square feet of retail. Kushner Companies just recently landed $127 million in construction loans; 2000 Biscayne Leasehold and 2000 Biscayne Fee Owner (entities managed by Kushner) secured a $75 million leasehold mortgage from Valley National Bank and a $52 million mortgage from AIG Asset Management. Construction permits are already approved and the cost of construction is estimated at $111 million. Balfour Beatty is listed as the general contractor.
    The first marble panels have begun to cover the Ro The first marble panels have begun to cover the Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center, a 138-foot-tall cubic structure on the World Trade Center site in the Financial District. Designed by REX with Davis Brody Bond Architects as the executive architect and developed by non-profit company The Perelman, the venue is located between Skidmore Owings & Merrill‘s One World Trade Center to the west, Vesey Street to the north, Fulton Street to the south, and Greenwich Street to the east. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 show the exterior substantially enclosed with the black metal framework to support the marble shell. The marble slabs are largely going up on the bottom corner of the western elevation. Photographs show the difference in lighting and shadow along with the gray veining. We can also see a level of translucent channeled glass on the northern wall above the concrete extension along Vesey Street. This area will serve as an outdoor terrace space. Behind the outer steel layer is more interior work with multi-story sections of flat white walls going up, gradually covering more of the red steel superstructure. YIMBY last reported that the Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center is scheduled to open sometime in 2023, with an official date yet to be announced.
